...plot deals with the troubles of "Homer Leland" (Roger Lapham '40) in raising enough cash to stage the World's Fair, and through it is woven an implausible little romance of the meets-loses-gets variety. The latter angle is handled in taste and in tune by Bayard Dillingham '40 and David Sheppard '41. The rest of the acting leaves much to be desired, although the cast can blame this with some justice on the book...
...hits reflect America's changing taste and changing tempo. They are presented here in chronological order, and the history of "jazz" is traced from its noisy pre-war origins, down to the sophisticated swing of today. Happiness, pathos, sentimentality, escapism, the emotions that characterized the years are all there, woven into a curious unity by a composer who has always written for the rank and file. It is pleasant to record that since the picture was first released, the new compositions it contains have also been added to Mr. Berlin's success...
...Professor Carl-Gustaf Arvid Rossby last week talked about weather in a Swedish accent to members of the Fifth International Congress of Applied Mechanics, at Cambridge. Mass. New facts had been obtained, said Dr. Rossby, from weather sounding balloons and airplane explorations of the upper atmosphere. These had been woven together into an original theory about the general circulation of the atmosphere, an elaborate theory still thin in spots, but one that raises scientific hopes for more accurate weather prediction...
...voltage and current so that the fence will shock livestock without injury. A survey Idaho took two years ago showed that the State's farmers are turning more & more to electric fences, are finding new uses for them. Among them: 1) to stop hogs from rooting under woven-wire fences; 2) to prevent animals from raiding chicken houses at night; 3) to keep cows in adjoining pastures from nosing each other, thus preventing the spread of Bang's disease...
...width is progressively diminished until the animal stops turning its eyes- thus showing that its threshold of vision has been reached. For sharp-eyed creatures which can easily follow the the 1/16th inch stripes, a further refinement is achieved by using slender threads, the finest of which were especially woven for Warkentin's experiments. The cylinder technique was used in Germany 15 years ago, but only to study reflex eye movements and not to test acuteness of vision. Its adaptation to Warkentin's purposes was suggested by his departmental superior. Dr. Karl Ulrich Smith. Since Mr. Warkentin...
